England boss Gareth Southgate makes Anthony Gordon hint amid Scotland interest in calling up Newcastle forward

Gordon was named player of the tournament when the England Under-21 won the European Championship in the summer, and he has had a stellar youth career for England. However, the 22-year-old has not yet received a senior cap, sources state that Scotland is now hoping to call him up since Gordon is eligible for them because of his paternal grandparents. Nevertheless, Southgate has advised the striker to take his time making decisions because he is on the verge of joining the senior team.

"I think he needs to think a little bit further ahead with the opportunities that could come up. I think for someone like Anthony [Gordon] it's imminently possible," said Gareth Southgate [@BBCSport on X].

Many players who have earned junior caps for England are reportedly being considered by Scotland, although they may decide to change teams. They include Harvey Barnes, Tino Livramento, Elliot Anderson, and Gordon.

The decision lies solely with Gordon as he has the option to switch to the Scottish national team, he is currently training with Newcastle as they prepare to take on Chelsea on November 25.
